News

I just wanted to tell you how happy and encouraged I was to open my mailbox Sunday morning to find my first Grid design was sold via Etsy!! Thank you all so much for giving me the confidence to give it a try. I have just put two more up and we will see. I love having them in the house because each time I notice something different and remember which patterned paper I used to use or which stamping project ended up getting punched out into squares.

This is Roxanne, a beautiful Christian girl who goes to our Church and is our youngest son Michael's girlfriend. The beautiful wreath she is holding she made for me with a flour and salt dough which when put into the oven hardens and can be used to make ornaments. I think it is beautiful and looks lovely on the wall.

Here is another picture of it, a bit close up. What a lot of intricate work went into this!

And here is a recent picture of my boys, my eldest, Rodney and my youngest, Michael. It was taken in Kenya, Africa where they were for an Outreach Mission with their Bible School group. They had such a fantastic time and I'm so happy that they had the chance to broaden their horizon and see how other people live and reach out to them! I praise the Lord that all my sons know and love the Lord, what a treasure!

What an absolute blessing to see the joy of the Lord on the faces of your sons. Thanks for sharing these photos of your loved ones! The handmade wreath is a lovely piece, definitely made with love.Congrats on your first sale on Etsy; I knew your framed grid art would be popular. Good luck with this new venture.

Encouragement

- As a child of God you can know His love and mercy towards you. - There is no end to His love for you. - Don't focus on what man may do to you, focus on His love for you. - His love is far greater than we could ever grasp or imagine.

PRAYER: Lord, may I always be aware of Your great and endless love towards me no matter what situations I may be faced with. Amen.

Did you know that our Heavenly Father is a crafter? Psalm 33:15 says that God, "made [our] hearts, so He understands everything [we] do.” (NLT)How does it make you feel to know that the Ultimate Crafter--Almighty God--fashioned your heart individually?! You have a hand-made heart! God is such an amazing crafter that He doesn't even have to spend countless hours toiling over the task. Psalm 33:9 tells us, "For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." (NIV)
